After the Horror

Cursed is he who says 'Revenge!' Vengeance for the blood of a small child Satan has not yet created. ~Hayim Nahman Bialik, Al ha-Shehitah (On the Slaughter) How could one ever imagine marrying horror and art, not the gut wrenching populist kind of horror but the gut wrenching real kind of horror? Yet various arts and various artists found the respectful and respectable way of doing it, applying individual filters to relevant horrific events and rather than turning them into tear wrenching soaps, they turned them into tear wrenching monuments. If in painting with Picasso applying abstract to his Guernica, if in poetry with Yevtushenko applying poetry tools to his Babi Yar, if in cinema with Benigni applying comedy to his La Vita e Bella, if in novels with Bassani applying routine to his Il Giardino dei Finzi-Contini, and so many others. I claim absolutely no right for resting in the shadow of such giants. All I do is tell my horror my way. Yes, my people, my horror, my October.         ©anonymoushorror  After the Horror         ©anonymoushorror  hey! you forgot me!         ©anonymoushorror  Nir Oz, 2023         ©anonymoushorror  Nir Oz, 2023, two         ©anonymoushorror  Architect         ©anonymoushorror  TV         ©anonymoushorror  How do you dare?         ©anonymoushorror  The Eleventh Plague         ©anonymoushorror  Resilience         ©anonymoushorror  Blankets         ©anonymoushorror  Family         ©anonymoushorror  Camera         ©anonymoushorror  Mistakes         ©anonymoushorror  Smiling         ©anonymoushorror  Child         ©anonymoushorror  Redefined (or Science Fiction)         ©anonymoushorror  Pure         ©anonymoushorror  A Day         ©anonymoushorror  Interview         ©anonymoushorror  Zola         ©anonymoushorror  Not before         ©anonymoushorror  Instinct         ©anonymoushorror  Tired         ©anonymoushorror  Brothers?         ©anonymoushorror  Wishes         ©anonymoushorror  The List         ©anonymoushorror  Question         ©anonymoushorror  Counting         ©anonymoushorror  My Mother.
